According to Odaily, SBF has officially appealed his fraud conviction. In a 102-page appeal submitted on Friday afternoon, SBF's lawyers requested the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit to overturn the original conviction and appoint a new judge for a retrial, citing unfair bias from the presiding judge. Last November, a New York jury found SBF guilty of seven counts of fraud and conspiracy related to the collapse of his cryptocurrency trading platform in November 2022. In March of this year, Judge Lewis Kaplan of the Southern District of New York (SDNY) sentenced SBF to 25 years in prison. SBF has currently served six months of his sentence.

According to Odaily, recent reports reveal that U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler has been the target of multiple threats since 2022. These threats, disclosed through the Freedom of Information Act by a Bloomberg journalist, include violent language and explicit death threats. One individual threatened to 'shoot and dismember' Gensler, while another email from Australia had the subject line 'Die.' Despite the severity of these threats, there is no clear indication that they are related to Gensler's cryptocurrency regulatory policies.

In a recent speech, Paul Munter, chief accountant for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), appeared to back off on the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 121 (SAB-121), which restricts banks from providing digital asset custody services to customers. According to analysis by Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy, Munter proposed several exemptions that would allow bank holding companies and introducing brokers to circumvent SAB-121’s custody provisions. Banks can avoid SAB-121’s reporting requirements if they obtain written permission from state regulators to custody customer assets in a “bankruptcy-remote” manner, clearly define standards in contracts, and conduct regular risk assessments. Introducing brokers can also be exempt from SAB-121’s requirements by meeting three conditions. The broker cannot hold a customer’s private keys, act as a third party in a transaction, or act as an agent for the introducing broker. Finally, the introducing broker must obtain a legal opinion certifying that it is an introducing broker that meets the digital asset exemption. Earlier news, on July 11, the U.S. House of Representatives voted on whether to overturn "President Joe Biden's veto of SAB 121-related resolutions", but it was not passed, and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's cryptocurrency accounting policy remained unchanged.
